Expect to be arrested and processed. This will take a number of hours. Have bail money. However, do not hold the money, give it either to lawyer or friend to hold to post later. Have the name and telephone number of an attorney. Do not try to explain to the police what happened - it just will not work.
You should go. It is always worse if the police have to pick you up.

You can expect to be arrested and processed. This is a serious criminal matter, I strongly suggest you get an attorney.
